>> DEVELOPERS CORNER - A YEAR SINCE OUR LAST UPDATE
Mobile 1UP has undergone a hectic year - not only finding very
little time to work on application development, but we also moved
from Stockholm, Sweden down to Munich, Germany. We are back :)
>> CAVEMAN
Mobile 1UP, after having to deal with the SCEE cease and desist
around the Lemmings port (36 hour); has finally released Caveman!
A quick summary of what this game is all about:
---
A 1991 CLASSIC REBORN IN 2011
Caveman is a game in which the goal is to guide a certain number
of Cavemen to the exit on the level. Cavemen enter the level
through an open hatch and can be assigned specific skills to help
guide the remaining Cavemen to the designated exit.
---
It is currently available on webOS (palm pre) and iOS (iphone, ipad)
at an introductory price; while we work on finalizing all the levels.
You can purchase the application at the following links:
- iOS (normal + HD)
$1.99 - http://itunes.com/apps/Caveman
$3.99 - http://itunes.com/apps/CavemanHD
- webOS:
$1.99 - http://developer.palm.com/webChannel/index.php?packageid=com.mobile1up.caveman
Just check out what people are already saying about this game:
***** (iOS HD)
ROCKS!
This is a wonderful reincarnation of a 90's classic. The graphics and
sound are, as expected, a bazillion times better than the original,
but the addictive original gameplay is still there. The detail in
the levels is immersive, if you find time to look around - some of
those later levels mean no time for tourism! :-) Money well spent,
and anyone who loved the original will be captivated by Caveman HD.
***** (iOS)
OLD SCHOOL LEMMINGS!
This is going to be a hugely popular game! Brings back great memory's
of playing Lemmings all those years back. I think with the planned
updates this game will become better & better with improved difficulty
with each update & hopefully more...! I'd recommend this game to
all angry bird fans and anyone that loved Lemmings back in the day.
Well done game developers!
***** (webOS)
This looks like Lemmings, tastes like Lemmings and smells like Lemmings,
except it isn't Lemmings. Or is it? Well, the level design and texts
are taken from the original game but the graphics and sounds were
changes to a very nicely done stoneage setting. Playability is quite
good though sometimes you miss a caveman. All in all a very good
Lemmings clone!
Are you still reading? :)
Of course; if you need to see how it runs; why not check out our
solutions guide we are putting together - as we add more levels
(these are FREE UPDATES); we'll also be adding level solutions:

We are very excited about Caveman - many more updates to come! :)
